    Gasoline Station in Sulawesi offers a relaxed, shallow dive, perfect for newer divers or those looking for an easy second tank. It's a muck diving haven at just 15m, with plenty of small, quirky critters hiding in the sandy patches and seagrass. We've often spotted frogfish, nudibranchs, and a few different species of octopus here. It's an excellent spot for photographers wanting to take their time.
